Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour finished its run in 2024 in Toronto and Vancouver, fulfilling years of anticipation, but the appetite for mega-tours and stadium concerts hasn’t abated. <\/p>\n

Huge tours are thriving, and the concert calendar is already filling up throughout Canada with some major ones. From K-Pop to hip-hop, pop-punk to classic rock to country, there are some huge names coming to the country\u2019s biggest venues. <\/p>\n

Four Tet and Skepta Bring the Heat to Montreal\u2019s Igloofest <\/h2>\n

Some major international names will be donning their puffiest winter jackets for Igloofest 2025<\/u><\/a>, the outdoor festival that runs every year during January and February in Montreal and brings music fans out of hibernation. The festival\u2019s 17th edition promises to get fans dancing down by Montreal\u2019s Old Port, with a flurry of strong headliners<\/u><\/a>: electronic experimentalist and Skrillex collaborator Four Tet, U.K. grime MC Skepta performing his M\u00e1s Tiempo house DJ set, and Swedish soundcloud rapper Bladee, to name a few, not to mention a deep roster of local talent. <\/p>\n

Yseult Brings Soulful Power to Montreal<\/h2>\n

Yseult had a big year, featured on one of 2024’s most unlikely chart hits, “Alibi” with Sevdaliza and Pabllo Vittar. Known for her deeply personal lyrics and breathtaking vocals, the French singer-songwriter has also captivated fans around the world with hits like “Corps” and “Ind\u00e9l\u00e9bile.” Yseult is coming back to Montreal for her first performance in years, a place where her signature blend of pop and soul seems to resonate in a big way.<\/p>\n

Mustafa\u2019s First World Tour Comes to Montreal<\/h2>\n

Mustafa’s Dunya<\/em><\/em> has been celebrated as one of the most acclaimed albums of 2024<\/u><\/a>, and he’s using that momentum to launch his first world tour<\/u><\/a>. His star has risen over the past year for both his music and activism. The Toronto-born singer-songwriter\u2019s tour will take him across the U.S. and Europe, plus Ethiopia and Sudan. The lone Canadian date is in Montreal, and it\u2019s sure to be a good one. <\/p>\n

Jelly Roll Blasts Through a Dozen Canadian Dates<\/h2>\n

Tennessee singer Jelly Roll picked Canada for a major milestone in 2024, performing his first international dates in Ottawa and Toronto<\/u><\/a> last summer. This year, he\u2019s ramping up the Canadian connection with a 12-city run, the Beautifully Broken Great Northern Tour<\/u><\/a>. Named for his No. 1 record, Beautifully Broken<\/em><\/em>, the headlining tour will take him from Victoria to Quebec City in March, with rising Canadian country singer Josh Ross along for the ride. A month later, he\u2019ll hit the road again, playing stadiums with Post Malone. <\/p>\n

Billy Joel’s First Toronto Show in More Than a Decade<\/h2>\n

Billy Joel is returning to active duty. Following “Turn the Lights Back On” heralding his first new music in more than a decade, the legendary piano man is now set to return to Toronto on March 15. The stadium show will be his first performance in the Canadian metropolis in 11 years and his only Canadian performance in 2025. It’s also the first time he’s played at the home of the Blue Jays in more than 30 years. <\/p>\n

Post Malone Fills Toronto’s Big Ass Stadium<\/h2>\n

As he’s transitioned from hip-hop to country, Post Malone has become one of the most popular touring artists. We saw it last year in Quebec City when he played for more than 100,000 people at FEQ<\/a>, and he has that same big-crowd ambition on his upcoming Big Ass Stadium Tour. That tour will come to Toronto’s Rogers Centre in May. Jelly Roll won’t be coming with him as he is for much of the rest of the tour<\/a> (he has his own arena date in the city just a couple of months before), but it seems Posty can fill a stadium on his own.<\/p>\n

NXNE Gears Up for a Big 30th Anniversary Edition<\/h2>\n

Billboard Canada<\/em>‘s parent company Artshouse Media Group (AMG) has acquired a major stake<\/a> in North By Northeast (NXNE). This is the 30th anniversary of the iconic Toronto music festival, and the new partnership will bring the festival to its full glory. Venues will be filled across Toronto with emerging artists ripe for discovering, while a new Billboard stage will bring some big names to the city for a big blowout performance. Artists from Lizzo to Daniel Caesar, Feist, Grimes, The Beaches, Mac DeMarco, Haviah Mighty, Sam Roberts and Billy Talent have played critical NXNE showcases at breaking points in their careers, and this year will honour that legacy.<\/p>\n

Kendrick Lamar Comes to Drake\u2019s Home Turf<\/h2>\n

Kendrick Lamar & SZA\u2019s Grand National Tour, which brings them to stadiums across North America is already set to be one of the hottest tours of the year \u2013 but the two Toronto dates will grab the most headlines. These will be Kendrick\u2019s first Toronto shows since his high-profile feud with Drake, and it\u2019s one that beef-lovers will be watching very carefully. Will he perform \u201cNot Like Us\u201d at one of the city\u2019s biggest stages? And how will the hometown crowd react? Many will be watching.<\/p>\n

Stray Kids Find a Venue Big Enough to Hold Them<\/h2>\n

Stray Kids are one of the hottest acts in K-Pop, and they’ve been setting records on the Billboard charts<\/a>. When Live Nation announced Rogers Stadium, a new stadium built just for music, some of the online chatter wondered how many touring acts can fill a venue that size, but the global rise of genres like K-Pop (along with Punjabi, Latin music and more) means there is a diverse range of acts who can headline. For their world tour<\/a>, it already feels like there’s no stage too big for Stray Kids. <\/p>\n

(She also took a moment off from the residency to appear in Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s Netflix Christmas special.)

Oasis\u2019s Reunion Tour Comes to Toronto\u2019s Newest Stadium<\/h2>\n

Oasis\u2019s reunion tour is so big, Live Nation may have built a stadium for it. The 50,000-capacity Rogers Stadium opens this coming summer, and in a Billboard Canada interview, Erik Hoffman said it was inspired by a band that otherwise would have skipped Toronto<\/a>. It\u2019s easy to guess he was likely talking about Oasis, whose North American tour was announced shortly after<\/a>. Anticipation is high for the British rockers, and sportsbooks are already taking bets on if the Gallagher brother frontmen can put aside their combustible rivalry long enough to actually complete the tour. Time will tell.<\/p>\n
